It has been an amazing couple of weeks.
With the help of many volunteers David Kendall and Cheryl Coonahan organized the sorting, boxing, dismantling and storing of everything from the old Fellowship Building. Many thanks to everyone who helped with this daunting task.
There is a large storage container in the parking lot where the tables, chairs, furniture, etc. will be kept until we can move it all into the new building.
We had a great farewell party on June 23. [Tomorrow I will figure out how to post some photos of that event onto this blog.] More thanks to the BfF team that brought food and set up/cleaned up for that evening. Guests must have enjoyed the food because it was all eaten!
Everyone had a chance to see the significant termite and carpenter ant damage in the empty kitchen.
Many folks left with free items from the building (light bulbs, fabric, wrapping paper, sweaters; quite a selection !) Almost everyone took home some boxes to store until the new building is ready.
Today the light fixtures were taken down. I know that some of them have been sold. Eric Broadbent will be storing the remaining fixtures, and some bulletin boards hoping to sell them in the community or on Craig's List.
The building is now empty and as of July 1 it is a construction site. This means that no one but the construction crew has access to the building. The first step is the removal of all hazardous materials. I understand that the building will be wrapped in plastic for this procedure.
I will try to keep you informed with frequent updates about the project.
